A few eighth graders from a small town in Minnesota were suspended last week for not standing for the Pledge of Allegiance. The school’s handbook states that kids don’t have to recite the Pledge, but they are required to stand while others do so. The school district is now trying to decide if the handbook should be reworded to protect free speech.

Should the policy change? You know how defiant kids can be. Let’s say the district changes the policy, some of the kids might sit just because they’re lazy. What do you think? Should the policy be changed so that kids can sit down? It’s not like they’re being forced to say the pledge. Should the school be able to suspend them for sitting?
